Early Life
Theodore Eccari was born on Pacifica in the United Dominion on 1.23.10843. He was orphaned at the age of four by a transit tube explosion in the city of New Blackwell, and disappeared from the orphanage he was sent to barely three months later. He was raised and taught the Varani disciplines by Set Tyrell, alongside future Lords Tavari and  Virini. The trio spent a decade in the tutelage and service of their master, though on two separate occasions in his teenage years Eccari was harshly punished by Tyrell for his insolent disrespect, as he repeatedly challenged his master and his teachings. Despite his "punishments", Tyrell didn't kill Eccari and the younger Varani grew increasingly disgusted with Tyrell's "softness".

Military Service
The "mysterious circumstances" Eccari and his two fellows said their master later disappeared under in 10859 were no mistake. Tyrell had, in an effort to acquire several highly valuable Varani artifacts long thought lost, fallen afoul of another Varani lord named Set Dorva while attempting to recover the artifacts on Hileen, the Varani necropolis world. Dorva did not know of the three apprentices, who were still aboard Tyrell's starship which had been orbiting the far side of the planet when Dorva arrived and entered orbit. Deciding they were better off without him, the three left after only a short wait and a few half-hearted attempts at communication with Tyrell.

At age 16, Eccari and Virini both joined the Dominion Navy. Virini ended up in line command and Eccari went into starfighter command. He became a fully qualified pilot and would command and fly as part of numerous operations against Commonwealth and Free Federation forces in the Great War.

Military Service
Eccari was a commander of starfighter forces by the time his new master, then-General Tuscano, began to unfold his elaborate plan to unify and take control of all of Human civilization. He was hard-edged, hard-driving, and had an intense focus under his affable and soft-spoken exterior, and his skill as a pilot would land him under Tuscano's command as his primary starfighter operations leader. He identified and quietly eliminated several senior starfighter officers who he felt would be most recalcitrant to the future Emperor and his agenda, and likewise satiated his angry need for violence by directing extensive and incredibly destructive strikes against enemy targets. When he was injured after his starfighter was shot down over New Yalta in 10877, he was rotated off of active combat duties and dispatched by Tuscano to New Geneva to act as his liaison there between military command and the Presidium.

During his liaison service, Eccari developed an uncannily sharp sense for reading the mannerisms, expressions and hidden meanings of the words of the officers and politicians he dealt with. Tuscano used him repeatedly to manipulate those who were resistant to his command style and combat plans, in even measure eliminating some while subverting the opinions of others into actively supporting the future Emperor.

Imperial Service
When Tuscano founded the Empire in 10879, he placed Eccari in charge of restructuring and re-purposing the new Imperial government and shuffling the bureaucrats who made up its various agencies. Many unwanted personnel were dismissed, several key minor officials were quietly exterminated or disappeared, and government operations were streamlined and efficiency increased considerably. Now Minister President, he runs the government with an iron hand, brooking no insolence or disrespect while maintaining his master's agenda and will through a strict standard of command and control that Tuscano clearly approves of.

Of the members of the Ruling Council, Lord Eccari is one of the most affable, commonly in contact with rank-and-file administrators and clerks to a greater extent than his peers. As such, he maintains a warm and approachable public persona to ensure those under his oversight remain lax towards him and his capabilities. In private, however, he is no less cold and calculating than his Varani brethren, and it is not uncommon for his anger to vent itself through the "creative elimination" of those who sufficiently anger him.
